If the working directory of the project is changed while specifying the MIF file path as an absolute path, a Critical Warning that the file cannot be found is output like this.
Check if the file exists in the specified path.

It is also possible to specify the file path with a relative path instead of an absolute path.
Specify a relative path (eg ./test.mif) in the File Name field on the Mem Init tab of the RAM:2-PORT IP setting.
At this time, do not press the file selection button (...) and enter directly in the File Name field.
Relative paths start at the project directory (.qpf save location).
